Reviews Summary
Mowgli Street Food Preston offers a delightful culinary journey with its authentic Indian street food and vibrant atmosphere. Diners rave about the explosion of flavors, unique dishes like Chat Bombs and Keralan fried chicken, and the fun swing seating. While the food is consistently praised, some guests have noted occasional lapses in service during busy periods, and one reviewer found the chicken to be a bit too crispy.
"My daughter uses Derian House Childrens Hospice and today the mowgli team invited the derian mums group to a food/mocktail making session followed by lunch. We have had the most wonderful day letting our hair down and having fun! I cannot thank Ray, Sam & Matt enough for their hospitality, kindness and entertainment they have shown to us today! As for the food…WOW! The flavours were out of this world. I have a lot of allergies and they were so accommodating and informative. Thank you again for a wonderful day 💚
Also I just wanted to add that Mowgli have raised around £40,000 for Derian House…forever thankful x"

"Second time visiting here. I have absolutely loved it both times. The service is great, the food is spectacular, and the vibe is chilled and relaxed. They had some new menu items which we tried - I would heavily recommend the watermelon dish and the keralan fried chicken."

"Wow! I'm not sure what else there is to say! The food was out of this world! We will definitely be visiting again. I didn't know this place existed - what a hidden gem. Absolutely beautiful with a super friendly team, we were made to feel at home as soon as we walked through the door and the swings were a fun element xx"
